"We must pull together the great talent
in our Party to distill a clear, positive and powerful message about
who we are and what we stand for. Once that is accomplished, we
must integrate the message into all facets of Party communication and
organization. Americans must be able to understand and to say
with conviction and without hesitation what being a 'Democrat' means."
